Work set to begin on three 100MW solar farms near Mildura – the state's largest, and possibly first, large-scale projects.

has signed a conditional contract with Nexif Energy for the EPC contracts and maintenance agreements for the 25 turbine Glen Innes Wind Farm in NSW.

Vehicle manufacturer Tomcar Australia recently won an AusIndustry Innovation Award, at the same time as Toyota and Holden prepare to close their Australian production facilities.

Existing gas generation in South Australia is expensive, inefficient, highly polluting, and controlled by just two market players. Battery storage is a smarter and cheaper option.

Wind farms to show they can provide same system services - inertia and frequency - as coal and gas plants in major new trial in South Australia.

The designers of the scheme Labor has embraced to meet climate targets admit it is designed to promote gas, not wind or solar – even with a 50% emission reduction target.

Victoria's Labor government calling for expressions of interest to build 20MW battery storage array, to improve grid stability.

Australia's premier financial regulatory body has delivered a stark warning to the country's politicians, saying that climate change already poses "system-side" financial risks.

The rules of Australia's energy markets were written at a time when coal and gas were the only major options.

Queensland's 25MW Barcaldine solar farm has been bought by one of Europe’s leading solar infrastructure investment teams, Foresight Group.

EnergyAustralia signs third PPA in 3 months, this time a 13-year deal for all the electricity generated by Victoria's 60MW Gannawarra Solar Farm.

Origin Energy reveals its latest PPA as a 200MW project that's being built by a former coal man in Port Augusta.

China-based solar PV manufacturer Trina Solar can no longer call itself the world’s leading solar PV supplier.

Origin Energy CEO says industry investment in renewables needs clarity around Australia's emissions reduction targets.

World's biggest EV maker, BYD, to build 40 new Electric Blu buses in Australia in joint venture with local manufacturer Carbridge.

Labor appears to have made huge backflip on renewables in effort to hide Bill Shorten's hopeless attempts to defend the policy. Instead of a fixed target, they want to lump renewables into an emission trading scheme, which is more likely to bring new wind and solar to a halt.

The report by the Australian Energy Market Operator into the rolling blackouts or load shedding in South Australia last week reveal a sorry tale of bad management, lousy forecasts, dud software and failing fossil fuel plants.

Report out of India suggests it could be completely coal free by 2050, with no need to build another coal power plant after 2025 as renewables and energy storage get cheaper.
